make up your mind on this - unless you day traded the inverse ETFs yesterday, wasn't that going to be your play?

Regardless, gold and silver are up, so I'm happy for today. I want the dollar beaten into submission through the end of 2009, then it can rally all it wants.

I am also considering shorting the Euro (even though it flies in the face of what I just wrote). Spain, Greece, Poland, etc all are weakened, and if one were to really stumble the Euro will drop like a stone. Possibe long on EUO ...

Kevin,
At this time, I am not trading ETFs. My reference to inverse ETFs in the last 2 days, was in response to JP's comment.
And .....
IF I had bought an inverse ETF two days ago, I certainly wouldn't be holding it more than A DAY.
My long-term "play" is precious metals.
I feel that no matter where I buy them, I can't go wrong .. because contrary to the MSM, I think our economy is doomed.
For example ... GSS has turned out to be a "dog" for me.
But, because it's a mining stock, I'm just going to leave it alone.

I agree that precious metals are a very good longer term investment. I would be careful of mining stocks however - they have outperformed GLD over this year, but only because they benefitted from both a rise in gold and a rise in the stock market.

If the market tanks, these will be dragged down even when gold is on the rise.
